Welcome, everyone! On the blog today, I have my review for The Last True Templar by Boyd + Beth Morrison. Thanks to Andrew Knowles from Head Of Zeus for the gifted book to take part in the tour.
The thrilling new historical adventure from New York Times bestselling author Boyd Morrison and expert medievalist Beth Morrison. Fox and Willa find themselves on a dangerous quest for the treasure of the Templar Knights.
A Perilous Quest. A Deadly Legacy.
Italy, 1351. English companions, knight Gerard Fox and the resourceful Willa, have come through a death-defying journey across war-torn Europe. Now looking towards a future together, they must first find a way to reconcile with their difficult pasts.
In a small village between Florence and Siena, Fox and Willa are caught up in a deadly ambush.
After rescuing Luciana, the target of the attack, they take refuge in her opulent villa and learn her heartbreaking story – a tale of loss, deception, and a burning desire for freedom.
Soon, Fox and Willa are involved in a perilous quest to save Luciana’s family legacy. To do so, they will have to solve a mystery that points the way to the fabled lost treasure of the Knights Templar.
The Templar Knights are a part of history that I dont know too much about. What I do know is that I want to find out everything about them. The Last True Templar Knights is a book that I really fancied reading. It gave me the history and mystery as well.
I haven’t read the first book in this series but had no problem being transported back to the fourteenth century on a thrilling adventure. I was whisked through Europe with Gerard and Willa. They rescue Luciana and whole staying at her villa she tells her heartbreaking story. After hearing it, Gerard and Willa agree to help Luciana solve the forty year old mystery surrounding her fathers last letter. There is a possibility that it’s linked to the lost templar treasure.
The problem being that they aren’t the only ones looking for it, Luciana’s husband is determined he will find it and get rid of Luciana along the way. This is such a rich historical novel, with strong and well described characters. I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent with Willa, Gerad, and Luciana. They made me feel like i could have been with them as the action sprung from every page as I read.
The history, the architecture, and the powerful scenes had me hooked. I always say I love being educated and entertained with historical fiction. The Last True Templar did just that! I recommend this historical fiction novel to anyone who loved a rich, historical read.
